DON’T FORGET TO REST
We work hard
We play hard
Sometimes it seems
We don’t have a minute
For ourselves
Sometimes-we need to
Take a step back-AND REST
Just let our bodies recharge
And our minds and our hearts
And our souls
For EVEN God did
“So God BLESSED the seventh day
And made it holy
Because on it
He rested from ALL the work
He had done in CREATION”
Genesis 2:3
DON’T FORGET TO REST
Rest is a BLESSING
It allows our body-mind-and soul
A chance to recharge
Sometimes we can urge ourselves
To do one more thing
COMPLETE one more task
And it leads to another
And before you know it
WE ARE DRAINED
Take the time to rest
Whether it be
The Sabbath day
Like the Lord suggested
Or even just a minute here-a day there
Or a day or two there
“Remember the Sabbath day
By KEEPING it holy
Six days you shall labor
And do ALL your work
But the seventh day
IS a Sabbath day to the Lord your God”
Exodus 20:8-10
(*It doesn’t have to be a Saturday or a Sunday)
Or even just some hours
To put your MIND at REST
And meditate on the
AWARENESS OF GOD’S PRESENCE
In your life
It does not matter
As long as
We do it-in some fashion
Dear Lord-we pray
That we NEVER FORGET you
And that we take a day
Or a few hours each day
To step back
And think about what’s important
In life
GOD-and FAMILY-and FAITH
For REST is a BLESSING
To help us
KEEP our priorities in order
We pray
That we work
AS you worked
And that we-like you
DON’T FORGET TO REST

Ps WITNESS 5-9-13
“Come to me-all you who are weary-and burdened-and I will
give you REST
Take my yoke upon you-and learn from me-for I am meek and
humble in heart
And you will find REST for your souls-
For my yoke is easy and my burden is LIGHT”
Matthew 11:28-30
